STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF PRINCE PHILIP, DUKE OF EDINBURGH

On behalf of the people of NSW, I extend my deepest sympathies to The Queen and all members of the Royal Family, following the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
 
The Duke of Edinburgh had a strong and lengthy relationship with NSW, visiting our state many times during his life.
 
While we mourn his passing at the age of 99, it is the occasion to offer thanks for a very long and dedicated life of service.
